Hi Team Stony Tennis,

We are delighted to announce that SSLTC has been selected to host a brand-new initiative in partnership with the tennis charity Bright Ideas for Tennis, called “I Play 30.”
This inspiring programme aims to make tennis more accessible for children with disabilities, and we are incredibly proud to be involved.

Through this initiative, we will be working closely with Redway School, providing trained coaches to deliver inclusive tennis sessions at the club for children with a wide range of disabilities.
The campaign is led by former British Davis Cup player Danny Sapsford, now Manager of Bright Ideas for Tennis, and we are extremely excited to support this meaningful project.

Free Training Opportunity

Before sessions begin, free specialist training will take place at the club:

Date: Thursday 5th February
Time: 12:00 – 3:00pm
Venue: Stony Stratford Tennis Club Ostlers Lane, Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes, MK11 1AR

The training will be delivered by either Danny Sapsford, Mark Bullock or Stuart Wilkinson, who together bring over 25 years of experience in disability sport.

This session is not just for coaches — it is open to anyone interested in learning how tennis can positively support people with disabilities and helping to make our sport more inclusive.

Register for the free training here:

We truly hope many of you will take this opportunity to be involved in a practical, inspiring session that uses tennis to change lives.

Happy tennising!

Hi Team Stony Tennis,

It was fantastic to see such an excellent turnout at our Starter Tennis Tournament on Sunday 18th January — a truly brilliant day for everyone involved.

Our 9&U and 16&U events were packed with enthusiasm, determination, and some impressive tennis. A total of 20 young players took to the courts, showcasing strong rallies, great teamwork, and a wonderful spirit of sportsmanship from start to finish. The round-robin format proved to be a real success, giving every participant plenty of match play and the opportunity to put their coaching into practice.

Congratulations to our winners:

9&U Champions
Group 1 – Winner: Thomas | Runner-up: Mia
Group 2 – Winner: Freddie | Runner-up: Rory

16&U Champions
Group 1 – Winner: Paru | Runner-up: Arjun
Group 2 – Winner: Martin | Runner-up: Sophie

A huge well done to all of our players for making the event such an enjoyable and exciting occasion. The confidence, focus, and positive attitude shown throughout the day were fantastic to see.

I’d also like to extend a big thank you to Coach Toby for running the event so smoothly, and to all the parents for your continued support on the day — your encouragement really does make a difference.

Our new competition format of timed matches with a “score as many points as possible” approach received excellent feedback. It helped players stay engaged, think tactically, and keep rallies flowing. We’ll continue to build on this structure to ensure our competitions remain fun, dynamic, and development-focused.

Looking ahead, we have more exciting Starter Tennis Tournaments coming up, with dates now live on our website. We’ll also be introducing new challenges and match-play opportunities designed to help players grow in confidence, learn match etiquette, and apply their training in a friendly competitive environment.

We look forward to seeing many of you at the next event!
